Review of Tumbleweed

Tumbleweed (1953)
10/10
I adored Audie Murphy

I wish this would come out on DVD. Audie was my first movie-star crush and it lasted from junior high through most of high school until I met my future husband. I saw everything he made in the 50's and Tumbleweed was one of my two top favorites (the other was The Cimarron Kid). I still remember the scene when he and the homely, incredibly smart horse (take that, Trigger!)was in a rocky, arid place with no water. Audie's character was sitting against a rock, waiting to die from thirst while Tumbleweed walked from spot to spot pawing the ground. After weakly telling him to stop, he finally said, "Go ahead, you fool. Dig." And of course the horse pawed up some water. The movie was exciting and funny and I can't believe it's been forgotten or that it's never come out on VHS or DVD. I hope it does. I hope his first one does, too, Bad Boy.
